Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2025
This bill requires Medicare to cover "prescription digital therapeutics" (software-based treatments for medical conditions, like apps for diabetes management or mental health) starting January 1, 2026. It mandates Medicare to establish payment rules for manufacturers - considering actual costs and usage - and create specific billing codes for these tools. Manufacturers must annually report pricing, distribution volume, and user data to Medicare, with penalties for noncompliance. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries, digital therapeutic developers, and healthcare providers who prescribe these digital health tools.
